Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Your ATAR Doesn't Go to Plan: Stacey Lapira on Disappointment and Starting Again
Q: What role did support networks play in your journey?
Support from my sister, lecturers, friends, and later my partner was crucial. They provided encouragement, mapped out options, and helped me believe in possibilities beyond the initial setback, which kept me moving forward when the path seemed uncertain.
When Your ATAR Doesn't Go to Plan: Stacey Lapira on Disappointment and Starting Again
Q: How did you move from devastation to action and ultimately pivot your education and career?
I pivoted by changing my preferences to enter a degree I could get into, then stayed open to where that degree could lead. My sister and mentors helped me reinterpret failure as direction, which led me to pursue opportunities in criminal justice, then prison work, teaching, and eventually fitness coaching.
When Your ATAR Doesn't Go to Plan: Stacey Lapira on Disappointment and Starting Again
Q: What was your mindset like when you first got the final ATAR results and realized your plans might be disrupted?
I felt devastated and embarrassed, especially because my peers seemed to be getting what they aimed for. I initially shut myself off and confronted a lot of self-doubt, but I gradually started to map new options and see that there were other pathways that could still fit my interests in law-related fields.
The Skills That Matter More Than an ATAR: Tash Chapman on What Employers Really Value
Q: Looking back, what would you tell someone finishing high school about their next 20 years?
Be willing to try different things and give yourself permission to explore. Every experience, even missteps, contributes to a path that aligns with your strengths and values, and you don't have to have it all figured out right away.
Leaving School at 16 With Dyslexia: Gwen Gothard on Building Your Own Path
Q: What is the yes criteria for Gwen's opportunities when faced with a new possibility?
Gwen says the decision to say yes is driven by personal interests, a sense of adventure, and trust in her own instinct. If something aligns with what she loves and offers meaningful opportunities, she says yes, even if it means stepping away from the expected path.
